Amplify Our Democracy: A Showcase of people acting as if they own the place

Throughout Scotland, people are acting as if they own the place and taking back control of their communities.Our Democracy is proud to bring together a national showcase of some of the most inspiring examples, as well as looking at how we can turn ‘acting as if we own the place’ into actually owning it.

This will be a day of quick-fire presentations, discussion and socialising aimed at cultivating the active Scotland-wide community and celebrating the potential of Scottish local democracy.

The event will take place on Saturday 21 October, in Dundee, 11am-4pm.

Tickets are free but please reserve one if you are coming so that we have an idea of attendance.

If you know any people or organisations that you think are a great example of ‘Acting As If’ and should give a short presentation at the showcase then please tell them to get in touch or send their details. So far there are speakers confirmed from Dunfermline, Oban and Dumfries and would like to cast the net even wider.
